09:04[00:01] careful not to regret it. Okay, but what about this bottle opener tattoo here ? Is the tattoo there? She's going to open it on her arm, man. The functional tattoo, dude. My God. The lid ended up exactly where this guy
[00:14] lost part of his finger, and he had a brilliant idea, man. The alligator, I couldn't say alligator. The little alligator is
[00:26] moving animals on the body, that's a bit specific, isn't it? He tattooed a frog on his knee. Oh, how cute, my God. He's messing with exactly two, [shout] one is like this and the other is like that. Wow, that's brilliant. And speaking of useful tattoos,
[00:40] brilliant. And speaking of useful tattoos, this person made a to-do list. distracted as me to forget. It's perfectly fine to write something on your arm, not, right? I hadn't thought of that. And you absolutely need to have a pen
[00:53] . You need to have a pen to write. Ah, there's the pen. That's I am very realistic. Wow, I have a story about a When I was a child, I had a monitor who hated children. He was the
[01:08] history. Once she came into my office to scold me, I don't know about what, and I had just discovered that you could put the pen here. Then she, [laughs] he wasn't doing anything. I was looking at my schedule. Mrs.
[01:22] Maria, I remember you. This is another useful tattoo; it's a barcode. A barcode for what? You're going to do it, and it's from a specific store. No, what is that? Okay, it scanned.
[01:35] I understood. It will show on the screen. It's Red Bull. Dude, you guys are going to think I'm I wouldn't do it today, but at a later point in my life, I " and I would have done it. That's great, I didn't see that when I was 18 years old, okay? The
[01:50] tattoo on the little finger. Lie. Oh [laughs] how awful. I thought it was very creative. I thought it was very ugly. It took me too long. I do also imagining your foot after you've walked 5 km barefoot like that, your foot covered in crusts
[02:06] , okay? Yeah, the worst part is that if you look at it like that, with your eyes tightly closed, almost closing, it's possible to fool people. But when But hey, at least the person who made it is very talented. If you look, look, look
[02:20] right here, they're little dots, man. The person went and tattooed an abdomen onto the guy's abdomen in tiny dots. Legal. The caption for this is coconut. I don't know if it's [laughs] poop or if it's actually poop. Let's see. Ah, [sighing] it's poop. And I thought it was
[02:34] very cute. I love it when people have a mole and turn it into part of their change so much, don't we? I really wanted to get my whole body covered in like my freckles. I have a mole here, I have a mole here, I
[02:49] understand? I have many freckles. And then I said, guys, it's going to be really sad if because of my tattoos. So I thought about getting tattoos, like, little dots on my body, representing all the freckles that would be covered by tattoos. It's great
[03:04] that the brain matures, isn't it? What a terrible idea. Terrible, awful idea. Oh, I really liked this one. First of all, I love pigeons. Secondly, I love eat the spots as if they were
[03:17] okay, no problem. She made a painting canvas. Oh, that's great! So, the tattoos are canvases and she's putting on those temporary tattoos to see how they look. Oh, and then you can change your tattoo from
[03:31] I want to see the final result. Oh, that's great! It became less cool. Oh, this one great! It became less cool. Oh, this one turned out great, guys! Awesome! Oh, a mother who only had black and white tattoos, and then she gave
[03:45] her daughter a marker to color in the tattoos a little. That's a tattoo that moves, man, that's awesome. Look at the blinking eye. You might say, "Oh, it's physics." Physics is useless , that's what it's for. Look how cool!
[03:58] Wow, that's a cool tattoo! I loved. Well, this is another tattoo that works in a creative, man. Sometimes I see things like this and I think, "Man, I don't have that level of creativity these people have." For example, I'm saying, "Dude, how
[04:11] someone was standing next to this guy at some point and said, "Dude, your ear stretcher looks a lot like a hamster wheel." Then he said, "I know exactly what to do with this information." Okay, this one is a sad face, a
[04:24] neutral face, a bored face. Wow, it could be a sad little face. Oh my God, it turned into a happy face! It's kind of a bad vibe just thinking that if he ever breaks this part here, then his face will look sad, right? Oh, how
[04:38] cute. He made a little fish out of the scar. I think it's really cool when people take a unique feature of theirs and turn it into a tattoo. It's very creative, very cute. For example, dude, my mom is someone who only
[04:50] has cat tattoos. My mom has a kind of cat, hence a cat-like mustache, and that's it. It's 100%. There are two, but it's 100%. [scream] So cat tattoo online, she tells me to say, "Oh, I want to get one." I hope she doesn't
[05:03] want to get that tattoo. I'm going to shut it down and pretend it never existed, okay? Oh, that's great! A jumping dinosaur. When I was a child, I used to do this a lot: draw a little trampoline and do a " put put put put" thing. This is a foot tattoo
[05:17] that I think is worthwhile. Man, he looks exactly like Sid. How did they even think of that? And the detail is that the tattoo artist is holding the person's finger so that Cid's face is visible. It's very good, man. Very good. This one tattooed a tattoo.jpeg.
[05:30] You want a tattoo, but you don't know what to get, so you draw it image from history. Has anyone ever gotten a Qode tattoo? Now that I've a good idea, because the tattoo expands after a while. Then it
[05:43] will all become one block. Oh, guys, I didn't like it. [laughs] I liked it, man. And I liked even more the barber who agreed to record this video. Dude, I don't know if it was his idea or the other person's, but I
[05:58] come on, let's give your ET a stylish fringe, man. You'll cut your hair perfectly straight, and you'll leave your alien bald. No, at my barbershop. This one is the opposite of the other tattoo, right? In that one, the tattoo
[06:10] had hair, and in this one, the tattoo doesn't have hair, but it is hair. Yeah, I didn't fool people, isn't it? It's just like that other one. If you close your eyes tightly like this, you'll believe it. AND . Yeah, I appreciate it when people use
[06:23] tattoos, like moles and stuff. The problem is that people are very mind is too limited to understand. Okay, we have to understand that but I liked this one. The person lost
[06:36] a finger and then drew a tombstone that says 2001, which I think is the year they were born, and 2021, which is when the finger died, and the tombstone is shaped like the finger. My God, there are so many layers, I thought it was very good. Congratulations to both the
[06:48] person who executed it, because I thought it was perfect. Well, this one is admirable. I don't know how anyone came up with an idea like that, but man, the worst part is that it looks exactly like the if he had done it the right way, Jordan's leg would have been tucked under
[07:02] his ear, wouldn't it? That's why his ear ended up looking a bit like that. But I thought it was very good. This that. But I thought it was very good. This is a sentence. The same armadillo. The same armadillo. The same armadillo. How creative! So I imagine it's a group of
[07:15] tattoo, but they couldn't agree on what kind of tattoo to get, same tattoo. Brilliant, very good. This one had his girlfriend Ana's name tattooed on it. And then he wrote ba and na and it became banana. I think they're not
[07:30] together anymore. It's resolved. It's resolved, right? This person had the same problem and wrote " Anaconda" and even has a drawing of a snake. Either all Anas lead to breakups, or all Anas lead to tattoos, or both. But at least it's
[07:44] an easy name, right? There are many things that involve Ana. His girlfriend's name was Sol, and then he changed it to Solteiro (Single). He's crying in the last photo. [laughs] Ah, I don't know if it's because the tattoo hurt, if he's sad because he's single, or if
[07:56] he didn't like the result. The problem is what happens when he gets another girlfriend, isn't it? He's either going to have to walk around with tape like that, going to have to remove it. From there it was easier to remove the part that said "sun". Either
[08:09] he finds another sun and only has to remove half [laughs] of the tattoo. Ah, [sighing] the buk inflates. For me, it's in the same category as being just as brilliant as observing the movement of the elbow and saying, "Well, if I draw
[08:22] a baku here, it will inflate." Brilliant. That's the kind of talk you'd expect from a genius, like Einstein. Well, this genius, like Einstein. Well, this person was born with their two fingers joined together, and so they're drawing it as if they're hugging. Woohoo!
[08:35] There! Oh, I really liked this one. It's one of my favorites. Comment below which one was your favorite. Although this one is also very good. The person added the little drawing of scissors. Very creative. Oh no, no. For me, it went too far
[08:50] . It's a tattoo here on the back of my head, maybe a Michael Jackson tattoo or a cat tattoo. Ox. I don't know , guys [laughs]. No, how person has their back turned, but they're watching you. But the only thing better than that is
[09:04] keeping your eye open while your eye is closed, right, guys? Believe me, God the Father, what a terrifying thing. And his eye is still red, guys. No. Oh, is it it a bruise? Any answer is bad, it's wrong. We're not going to tattoo eyes
[09:19] in the place of the eye that we saw doesn't work. What is this? What is this? work. What is this? What is this? Oh, it's one of those savory snacks that you... Wow, that's brilliant, man. I want to see it again. Wait a minute. My God, that's awesome. That
[09:33] cheese stuff pulls at you, so how much you have to like Coca-Cola to draw a Coca-Cola serum bag injected into your arm. How much do you have to My mother wouldn't get a tattoo, but I think she would identify with it. But
[09:46] I can respect people who like Coca-Cola; what I don't respect is people who like Coca-Cola with Yakult, which is one of the horrible things I had to eat in this video where I try the bizarre things my subscribers eat. Click here
[09:59] Until the next video, which, God willing, I won't be eating strange things. I won't be eating strange things. Thank you very much.
